Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review

The Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review is designed to ensure we work together to resolve repeated reports of anti-social behaviour. Where there has been inappropriate action taken to address this, members of the community will be able to use the Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review process.

We will do this by talking about the problem, sharing information and using our resources to try and reach an agreeable outcome.

Reporting thresholds

• A complainant has reported the same problem three or more times in the past six months to the council, police, or their landlord, and inappropriate action has been taken in line with the relevant agencies policy and procedure.
• Different complainants have made reports about the same problem five times in the past six months to the council, police, or their landlord, and inappropriate action has been taken in line with the relevant agencies policy and procedure.

Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review criteria:
What do we mean by “no action” taken?

• The reported problems have not been acknowledged – i.e. no one has contacted the you to advise what action would be taken.
• The reported problems have not been appropriately investigated in accordance with the relevant agencies policy and procedure.
• You are vulnerable and/or the potential for harm have not been considered and this has affected potential service delivery.
• No action has been taken because information has not been shared between partners and this has affected potential service delivery.
